@Beaver: If you're looking for a great TFT, take a look at the Eizo Flexscan L997 monitor. This is an 21,3" professional LCD monitor monster. This thing is so big that I can keep two keyboards before it and the screen is still huge. But this is no ordinary TFT monitor, it's a Multisync LCD which can display frequencies beginning from 49 Hz - so it works perfectly with my Amigas. The most consumer TFT's have to give up because they start displaying at 56 Hz. But there are more great features - Picture in Picture mode which displays the 2nd monitor input, a great thing. Great is also the ActiveRotation II feature which rotates the monitor display automatically - and the gfx card doesn't even need to support rotation! So it works even on the Amiga, the second picture shows one of this crazy interlace resolutions with 640x960 pixels, now they are useable (if you like 30 Hz flickering interlace).
The Eizo is really a professional monitor, it has a lot more functions than a consumer monitor, including external USB control - but only for Windows. It also has a perfect color profile for the Mac - to adjust my Samsung Syncmaster 204b was a pain. Useful for me was the inbuilt hour counter, this thing was just running 2260 hours - nearly 3 months only. And I got it for a quarter of the regular price, hehe.
